2:38 am
megawatt director, but because the story of the man who was the ultimate survivor, and who found unyielding faith, is so powerful. that power, like louie's frequent visitor, became a kind of life force for the author and helped director angelina jolie overcome her doubts. >> i didn't know if i was the best director for this, the right director for this. i didn't know. i didn't have the skill set going in to handle all of the things it would take to make this film. but i was going to learn, because i really, really cared. and that matters. and i really think his message is extremely important. >> reporter: important and indispensible to laura hillenbrand. she wrote "unbroken" as she battled the debilitating effects of constant vertigo and exhaustion. how did he help you in your condition? >> louis was my lifeline for a long time. for two years, i never left my house because i couldn't walk far enough to get to my back gate.
2:39 am
i mean there were times when it was hard to get my hands to the keyboard, or my hands to the telephone to call him. but i still kept going because, if he got through what he got through, i could get through anything. >> reporter: you think the fact that you've been struggling with a really difficult situation as well helped you understand him? >> i think the fact that i had been in the pits of despair myself in my life, and up against something i thought was bigger than me, it helped me to understand him better and capture the texture of what his life had been like when it was at its worst. >> reporter: after louis read a "new yorker" article by laura about how severe her illness was, he made a personal gesture. >> without saying anything to me, he mailed me his purple heart. and he wrote on it, "i think you deserve this more than i do." and i was so touched, i was in tears and tried to give it back to him. and he said, "no, absolutely, it's yours." and that was the bond we had. >> reporter: after "unbroken" was published, louis flew out to
2:40 am
the east coast to finally meet laura face to face. what did you learn from them in the course of making this film? >> oh. well, i learned a lot during a time where i actually went through a surgery myself, a personal health issue myself, that i had, i suppose, in the back of my mind, knew i needed to address and had been putting off. >> reporter: she is referring to the radical preventative surgery she had last year after being diagnosed with a gene mutation that put her at high risk for breast cancer. >> and i think in learning about laura's health and laura's life and louis' strength, and all these people that are determined to -- you do what's best and you do what's right for your family, and you buck up and you move on. it helped me through that time in my life -- >> reporter: after an agonizing choice, she had both breasts
2:41 am
removed and underwent reconstructive surgery. then she revealed her decision in a "new york times" op-ed and became an inspiration to women all over the world. what became known in the media as "the angelina effect" soon followed. genetic testing among women in the u.s. and overseas reportedly almost doubled in the months following her announcement. but now, at age 39, she faces another tough choice. her mother died at 56 and her maternal grandmother at just 45. both were diagnosed with ovarian cancer. >> i have a high risk of ovarian cancer. >> reporter: she revealed she faces another preventative surgery. >> i'm starting to think about it this year and preparing for what that would be. and i'll be very clear about it when i do, i'm sure i will go through it. and whatever i learn from it, i'll share. and there's a lot to learn, but i'm in the process of getting that education of what that is, and what that does. >> reporter: evaluation, yeah. >> and how to do it. and yeah. yeah. so i don't know when that will be, but -- >> reporter: that's a very big deal. >> yeah. yeah. >> reporter: it's a big
2:42 am
decision. >> it is. >> reporter: but at the same time, it's a deadly disease, ovarian cancer, you know. i've decided, given my own experience, that there are those who don't have cancer, and they're sympathetic. those who have cancer, who are empathetic. no one knows what it's like until you get it. so what you do is very brave, i think, in so many ways. and it raises the alert level. >> wow. it's my pleasure to be able to communicate what i learn. and i'm -- you know, we're both so fortunate. we have great health care, so -- >> reporter: thank you. >> least we can do. >> reporter: and when we return -- there was a report recently, said you were interested in going into politics at some point.

2:47 am
aware of the problems faced at home by many of our veterans. >> think we need to really help the young men and women that are out there today and support them, and give them more respect. certainly not just when they come home, certainly when they come home, but more respect when we choose to deploy them. >> reporter: nbc's sister company universal pictures invited a group of veterans to a private screening of "unbroken". they were eager to share their thoughts about the picture, as louis' story reminded some of them of their own difficult wartime experiences. >> i don't know how he survived. i think i would have gone crazy. it's a testament to who he is at his core. >> the message that they got across of forgiveness, i'm going to go home and think about that tonight. >> if i can take it, i can make it. >> the message that stood out to me was, no one can take away who you are and no one can break you. it's up to you to survive and prevail through it. and you can. louis did. it can be done.
2:48 am
>> reporter: war is ultimately about life and death. but what does it take to be a survivor? who makes it and who doesn't? at new york's intrepid sea, air and space museum, admiral eric olson, a legendary former navy seal who played a critical role in the famous "black hawk down" rescue mission, says survival is a mix of will and cunning. >> i think it is overcoming challenge that makes one tougher. it's the tempering of steel. >> reporter: what is the dna of someone who can do what louis zamperini did? >> i think perhaps there is a dna characteristic that helps one tolerate pain and helps one recover. but i think most of it is psychological. so he was, one, very clever, two, very tough. he'd been through life experiences that just made him tough. but also, i think importantly, gave him the confidence that he could get past some really tough things. >> reporter: when you read louis' story, were there times you just thought yourself, "oh, my god"? >> yeah, absolutely. i think very few people have
2:49 am
ever been through that kind of dehumanization. >> reporter: world war ii veteran clarence graham was actually in a japanese prison camp longer than louis. >> we were not considered as human beings. >> reporter: of the 27,000 american p.o.w.s in japan, 40% died, compared to 1% in german camps. clarence was a prisoner for three and a half years, surviving on only a small mound of rice for 12 hours while working in a condemned coalmine. could you tell, when you first got into these camps, who of your friends would survive, and those who probably wouldn't make it? >> it was pretty obvious. somebody that had a outgoing personality, looked for the good, they had a good chance. but if you felt bad and like, you were being cheated or something, you didn't have a chance because you got depressed. and when you get depressed, you're health goes bad. if you didn't have your health, there was nothing you could do.
2:50 am
that was it. >> reporter: you witnessed some terribly brutal acts. there was a filipino woman who wanted to give you some water. >> yes. she got killed. she got bayoneted because she tried to give me some water. >> reporter: right in front of you. >> yes, uh-huh. >> reporter: and what about your commander? >> well they asked him to bow, and he spit in their face, so they cut his head off. >> reporter: and were you witness to that? >> yep. it's something that's hard to swallow. >> reporter: dealing with that kind of brutality on screen, angelina jolie faced some tough choices. she wanted a pg-13 rating, but also wanted to depict the savagery of those camps. >> it is a very fine line. all these things had to be carefully thought out. a lot of the beatings are actually off screen. you have to have it just right so the audience can take it in. and it's not easy stuff to take in. >> reporter: and not easy to play, especially for the japanese singer/songwriter miyavi. angelina needed him to reach
2:51 am
deep to capture louis' psychopathic guard, nicknamed the bird. now he is worried about the reaction at home. >> i'm kind of scared because it might break my career as a musician. but the message of this movie is really important. it's forgiveness. >> reporter: it will reopen, probably, a lot of examination of the war conditions that existed, especially in japan, in prison camps. there were terrible camps in europe as well. but in japan, they took it to a whole different level. >> yes, the camps. but the film is not about -- the film is not anti-japanese. the film is louis' story and louis' view of this war and louis' relationship to japan was, in fact, in the end, quite a beautiful relationship. in fact, in 1998, as a gesture of friendship, the japanese invited louis, who was then 81, to run with the olympic torch before the 1998 winter games in nagano. >> so they kind of came back together. and if we can understand that,
2:52 am
that that's the essence of what this story is, then that's what this film should, in fact, be doing. >> reporter: but she knows that reconciliation is not easy after the atrocities of war. she recently teamed with former u.k. foreign secretary william hague in a campaign to end sexual violence in war. >> we can end the use of rape and sexual violence as a weapon of war once and for all. we really can do it. >> reporter: in october she was honored by queen elizabeth for her efforts. did you ever think that you would be standing next to the queen of england, who would be honoring you in that way? >> oh, absolutely not. no. it was just such a great honor. yes, it was a great honor. >> reporter: and with so much of her life dedicated to public service now, the speculation is increasing. always have to check with you about what i read about you, because there's so much stuff from time to time. there was a report recently you're interested in going into politics at some point. something to that? >> ahh. it's not something i'm actively seeking at this moment.
